Ducks still ingesting toxic lead shot 25 years after ban (Some odd omissions and conclusions. Staggering estimates of lead shot in the environment - in units of "tons" and "billion"!)

Video series explores how woodpeckers avoid brain injury (from MIT!)

http://phys.org/news/2016-02-video-series-explores-woodpeckers-brain.html?utm_source=nwletter&utm_medium=email&utm_content=ctgr-item&utm_campaign=daily-nwletter



Here's the complete video series of 7 short segments: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GEDW75ZRH-Y&index=1&list=PLo1wGxoqIti2eou-WydolDpLsjPma716l

T40, FABULOUS!  THANKS!!!   :)  I enjoyed reading the article explaining why and how this video project was developed by and for MIT as much as watching the actual video series about how woodpecker's avoid brain injury!  It said in the article about this project that if this wonderful woodpecker video series is well-received, they would like to follow-up with a second video series marrying ornithology and engineering on the topic of feathers.  I hope they pursue that and continue on even further.  This would be great for any bird enthusiast, as well as for the engineer-wanabees!  Exceptional!   :)
